once the Major Didn't Match.
From the Ne,c York Sur

"Major Bluff kin, the hatcher" bis friends
call him. dhe is almost as much devoted
TO the delights of matching coins as was the
late John T. Raymond. He stood at the
bar, having iioated in TO get a cocktail and
change bill. He got a silver dollar III the
change and il was yet ia his hand, when a
voice at his elbow in the usual terms soil
cited - little help, please, General" The
barlSeeper was about to run the tramp out
when tho M6i1r said Hold on, | viii give
him a chance He spun the dollar on the
bar and slapped his hand down over IT,
Heads, win; tails, il goes 10 you" said
he benignantly To the tramp
The latter's Interest scarcely exceeded that
by the Major and the bartender as the hand
was raised and the spread eagle that is OPP
posite the head on these pieces was disclosed.
As tie coin dropped into the extended fist
OF the lucky tramp the Major was ast0unded
al the proposition: "I'll 90 sou again; this
dollar ngin another one. And now II Is Of
record that the Major has actually refused
an invitation 20 match coins But tie tramp
sill clufched the dollar when lac found HIM

He Suffered From the Drought.
From the Detroit Free Press.

On the ever glorious Fourth, confiding
shopkeeper, on Michigan Grand avenue,
mixed up a tub full of lemonade and took
his seat behind it, with the exclamation to
the public:
Mice, cool lemonade and the old-fash-
ioned tin dipperl Come and drink all you
can hold for 5c!n
He was speedily patronized, but the tenth
or eleventh man who came up was negro
He was built with a basement and bay
window, and he had a mouth on him
which would take in Billy Kersand's whole
head
''How much for five cents" he carelessly
inquired.
'All you want"
mo chokin' OFF,"
"No, sir Pick up the dippar and drink
away"
The stranger put down his nickel and took
off his hat and drank a full quart Then
he uttered a long-drawn "y-u-m!" and took
off his coat and got away with two more
dippers.
s'Hain't You about fullg" anxiously in
quired the owner of the tub.
Purity full, but not quite, sah."
OFF went the vest and the dipper was filled
and emptied three times, with only breath
between.
'Say! you've got away with a whole
gallonw called the lemonads man as a
thunder-cloud worked along his brow
81 specks hev, but dar' was to be no
chokin off. All desc gemlen heard de bar
gain"
He sat down on barrel, removed his
shoes, crossed his legs and it did seem as if
he imbibed another gallon before ne lot up
long enough TO remark:
"Does seem powerful good to hev Foth Of
July come again"
"Say, man, do you propose to empty the
tnbM
Cant say sab. Reckon I'll put in about

Fifty cents, sab"
'I'll give you thirty"
The negro swallowed another pint, ex-
planned that he had been dry for six weeks,
and he finally took SOC, six pieces of lemon
and chunk of ice and agreed to haul off,
saying to the crowd:
f'Gem'len reckon rze got to fill up de

Conscientious Scruples About Insult
ing a Creditor and Their Result.

Conscientious ScrupIeS ABOUT Insult
ing Creditor and Their Result.
Several years ago, writes Auguste Vile
mot. we were supping after midnight, at
the Vaudeville coffee house Among those
present were Bouffe, the lessee and manager
of the Vaudeville Theatre; Briffaut, the
journalist; DR.. Lalleiuand, who was the
proprietor of the Passage Radziwill; an old
notary of the name of Dubois; Armand
Marrast, then a writer on the staff of the
Tribune: an old Sheriff S officer called Mou-
ton, and Choquart. The latter had, as usual,
grown tender over the fate of the Princes
Belonging to the elder line, and Mouton, the
Sheriff S officer, whose political sympathies
inclined toward the republic, went so far as
to say that Charles X. was an old idiot. At
this Choquart, pale with rage, rose from his
seat and said to Mouton:
II have taken an oath to slap the face of
any man who insults my King. / shall now,
therefore, slap yours
The situation was exceedingly grave and
everybody felt dreadfully uncomfortable.
Choquart suddenly stopped short and said:
Dear me! owe Mouton louis and can
not strike him without first reimbursing the
money. 1t would be ungentemanly in me
to act otherwise. Briffaut, lend me a louis,
will you, that may slap Mouton's facem
81 have no change" answered Briffaut.
''Bouffe, quick, lend me louis, that
may Gull hOubOlS edrS!'
MY dear Choquart," replied Bouffe, 81
shall only be too happy to lend YOU four
times the amount outside of this place, but
cannot lend you louis for the purpose
you mention"
AT that moment entered the coffee house.
''Ah here comes Villemot," exclaimed
Choquart, and bounding toward me he said
hurriedly, LEND me louis. Quick.
want to box Mouton's ears, and delicacy re-
quires that | should first give back the louis
owe him."
was at loss to make out what he meant
Don't lend it, don't lend it," cried out
those who were present.
At that time of life, especially, l had
a strong reluctance to lend a louis so drew
back.
The most amusing part of the story is
that Bouffe persuaded Mouton to believe
that he was no longer in safety
"A louis, you see, is no large sum" said
Bouffe; "Choquart is bound to have spare
one some day, and he will carry out his
threat. If I were you should lend him 20
louis; he'll never be able to give back SO
large sum and you are safe for the rest Of
your life.
So, after supper Mouton offered to lend
Choquart 20 louis, who was dumbfounded
at the proposal He saw the danger, but
danger had special attractions for him. He
pocketed the gold pieces and said to Mouton
as he did so: "Never mind; we are notquits
yet. The first time | receive my pension
you shall get your ears boxed all the same. y
Choquart, however, was never able to
command so fabulous sum as 20 louis at
any one time nor to wreak righteous ven
geance on the offender who insulted his
King.
